When loading the new tax tables, the following error may be displayed:

There are 2 possible causes:

• you're not logged into Windows as an Administrator (or a user with Administrator privileges), or
• a file in your AccountRight installation folder (Pay2Myob.bin) has its properties set to Read-only

If you're logged into Windows as an Administrator or a user with Administrator privileges, check the properties and permissions of the Pay2Myob.bin file.

N/A

C:\Plus19

C:\PlusClassic

C:\Premier19

C:\PremierClassic

C:\Enterprise19

C:\EnterpriseClassic

In this folder, right-click the file called Pay2Myob.bin and choose Properties. Here's an example.

On the General tab, ensure the Read-only option is not selected.

1. Log in to your computer as a user with Administrator permissions.
2. Simultaneously press the Windows  and E keys on your keyboard (the Windows  key is between the Ctrl and Alt keys). The Computer or Windows Explorer window appears. 

3. Locate and open your AccountRight v19 installation folder. Here are the default installation locations. If you installed AccountRight in a different location, go to that location instead.
   

   If using:	The installation folder is here: (v19.12 or earlier)	The installation folder is here (v19.13 or later)
   AccountRight Standard	C:\Standard19	N/A	N/A
   AccountRight Plus	C:\Plus19	C:\PlusClassic
   AccountRight Premier	C:\Premier19	C:\PremierClassic
   AccountRight Enterprise	C:\Enterprise19	C:\EnterpriseClassic

    

4. Inside your folder, right-click the file pay2myob.bin and choose Properties.
5. Click the Security tab.
6. In Group or user names list, select Everyone.

7. If Everyone doesn't exist, you can add it as follows:

   1. Click Add.

   2. Enter the name Everyone in the box.

      

   3. Click OK, then click OK again.

8. With Everyone selected in the Group or user names area, select Allow for Full Control in the Permissions for Everyone area.

10. Now attempt to load your tax tables again.
